John Schneider: Seahawks are not sure if Jamal Adams will be ready for training camp

Seahawks safety Jamal Adams suffered a torn quad in Week One that forced him to miss the rest of the 2022 season, and the team isn't sure how soon Adams will be back to full speed.

Yeah, Pete was pretty elusive in his comments about Adams being ready for TC. Not looking good.

Worst trade in franchise history, doubling down and giving him loads of cash is even worse. Please don't give up QB trade capitol for a free safety forcing his way out of his old team for money ever again J.S. Pete.
You guys have clearly learned from past failures in the draft and changed your approach (rightfully). Please do the same with acquiring guys through trade.

We have a 6th rounder behind Adams currently, and we also don’t have money for vet fas. Jfc.

He hadn’t had injury history when we acquired him. It’s been fluky stuff since. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if we cut our losses next year. Too bad because he is—or at least was—a phenomenal player.

Exactly. PCJS traded for a healthy Jamal Adams.

I'm curious as to what our health and conditioning coaches are doing though. To wit: Charles Cross was our first top draft pick not to get hurt in training camp in a decade. Contrast that to the Patriots who have a special program to prevent hamstring pulls and haven't had anyone miss time for that injury in the same period.

 

[BASF]

Fred Vinson trade was still worse.

 

[toffee]

May be that's why we traded for Love?

 

[James in PA]

This is infuriating. So tired of getting my hopes up with this guy. Definitely one of the worst moves this regime has ever made.

 

[James in PA]

The Jets pulled their own Russell Wilson trade on us with this guy.

A lot of people call me a Debbie Downer with Adams, but dude's broken.

He's been broken, and I can't imagine there will be a time when he's not broken. It's why we went out and got Love, and drafted Witherspoon, to solidify the defensive backfield........and to a lesser extend resigned Bobby, to shore up the 2nd level run defense.

Why? Because Pete and John know having Adams back is a low probability.

 

[TheLegendOfBoom]

So ironic, the guy Seattle trades is the reason the guy Seattle traded a lot for, may be the reason he is done.

You are not being a DD but a realist. I am just wondering when they will cut bait with him and eat the dead cap hit even when healthy Adams is a liability in pass coverage in todays NFL both safeties have to be good in covering receivers. Before the draft Chevy had a mock draft where the Hawks would draft Witherspoon with the idea of eventually moving him to safety if this happens and he gains 10-20 lbs could be in the mold of Ed Reed or Troy Polamalu

Love will play the second safety spot and actually cover receivers and catch easy interceptions.

Adams trade was bad for 3 reasons:
1) 2 first rounders for a safety, even an all pro is a steep price
2) Paying a safety a massive contract is doubling down on the crazy cost for a non elite position
3) Adams is really a box safety and that makes the value even lower.

Makes no cap sense to cut bait this year, the team out isn't until 2024. So my guess is Schneider will pull a hamstring running to submit the release paperwork the day after the season's over on Adams. Even then, the dead cap hit is 14M.

I was all for the Adams trade, so I can't act like I knew all this was going to happen. But damn man, this is the worst trade and subsequent contract extension in team history. Adams has literally been a one man wrecking ball to the cap and defense for going on three years now.

 

[CalgaryFan05]

Yup. This.

Adams is already dead Fing cap. He just doesn't know it. They bought some expensive insurance until Adams can be cut next year. They just ate the risk now.

I had a very strong suspicion that despite the hype he ain't right.

And I STILL say: How the do tear a quad THAT bad on THAT play.

All true points. May I add trading that draft capitol for a guy that was forcing his way out is a major misstep as well. Also we paid him AFTER he started getting injured and showed he wasn't a great fit. We should have cut our losses but because of the capitol we paid for him they felt forced to sign him.

Who wouldn't rather have paid 2 effective massive run stoppers this year rather than have Jamal Adams. We have used up so much cap space for this guy along with all the draft picks missed.

I hated the Percy Harvin trade as well and guess what he was forcing his way off the Vikings just like Adams was. Maybe just maybe we shouldn't target guys in trade who are malcontents were they are at and all about getting their bag.
Perhaps spending firsts on such situations is not a great idea. Please reassess trading significant value for guys forcing their way out of other teams. They reassessed who they target in drafts I am hopeful they will do the same thing for trades.

Can we just give the Broncos back their 3rd round pick for JL Skinner? Please and thank you
